No, it isn’t fake. I’ve done volunteer work helping people do tax returns, and the Uber drivers I met were NOT making money. Every Uber driver I met, after we worked on their business return (Schedule C), decided to quit.

An amateur hack? Insurance? A chauffer's license? Do you really think you're any safer in a yellow taxi, driven by a mid-Eastern wanna-be jihadist? (Oh yes, I've had those kind of drivers in Yellow Cabs before).

I've ridden in taxis, and I've taken Uber rides in the past couple of years. I'll take the Uber, please. If I get into an accident with Uber, it's no different than an accident driving with a friend or co-worker. I would expect that my medical insurance will take care of things, whereas getting into litigation with a regular cab company doesn't make me feel any more comfortable.

No I don’t, but Yellow cab is a long established company with deep pockets and corporate insurance.

The point is: No one is pissing and moaning but you. These reports are poo-pooed ny uber defenders and quashed at every turn. These reports merely try to expose the truth.

Hypocrites are using a service solely designed to enrich investors while upending the economic lives of millions. Those same hypocrites still brag about the greatness of uber while ignoring that it’s a progressive business model akin to an economic bomb, not a free market stimulus.

Btw, perhaps you should look up “/s”...
